Excellent Service

Unfortunately the lifts were not working and as I am not able to climb too many stairs so was not able to access my room, there were no suitable rooms available on the ground floor but the manager kindly upgraded us to a first floor room and assisted us with our luggage this was extremely good service so would not hesitate to book this hotel again

What an excellent stay! I must say this place exceeded our expectations. On the surface it looks like one of those comfortable but dull sort of beige country house hotels and we thought it would be grand but it was super. There was actually some joy and edge in the refurbishment so there are some really nice decorative touches. The colour in our room was a deep clay colour and some nice fabrics and furnishings in the bar area too. The food in the bar was fabulous and again far better than expected. Nice friendly staff even though all were teenagers they were sweet and helpful - good to see some holiday jobs! Gardens look gorgeous although we didn’t have time for a walk as we were in the spa. Spa was quite nice too. Not too busy or overbooked. Overall would stay here again.

We had a fantastic time at Downhall, which is a beautiful property with lovely grounds. A big thank you to every single member of staff that we came across, as everyone was friendly and helpful. But a massive thank you to the lady (duty manager) who helped my family . She changed rooms for us, upgraded some of the rooms, so our 5rooms would be close to one another. Can’t wait to go back👍

This is a beautiful property. Whoever has completed the interior design and decorating should be commended - very classy. We happened to visit on a weekend where the weather was stunning, which made everything so much nicer and meant we could spend almost all day outdoors enjoying the grounds and patio area. If the weather wasn't great I suspect we'd have got bored. The staff are very good, the food was excellent. The property and grounds are very clean and tastefully furnished. Compared to our spa hotels, I would say the gym and spa at this hotel is a big let down. The gym is very small and limited in terms of equipment. The spa is very basic, not much more than what you'd expect at a half decent gym. Overall we had a great time, significantly help by the stunning weather. If we were to visit again it would be on a similarly warm day and it would probably be just a day trip.
